She's won one of their trophies, so you'd think the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would know who Penelope Cruz.

Salma Hayek she ain't.

The Oscars' official Instagram account posted a candid pic of best screenplay presenters Cruz and Robert De Niro "prepping backstage," as per the caption. The only problem? They identified the gorgeous woman in the pink dress as "Hayek."

Yikes.

At least one commenter has assailed the Academy as "stupid, racist idiots" as a result. More than an hour after posting the picture, the Academy had not yet corrected the error.
